If memory serves, The Three Stooges rarely left the impression that they would live happily ever after. For all the nyuks they provided, Larry, Moe and Curly always seemed to be on the wrong end of food fights upon conclusion of their hallowed film shorts. In that sense, three embattled local general managers -- Jerry Angelo, John Paxson and Dale Tallon -- are ahead of the game, for they might get the last laugh. We use the word "might" advisedly, since running a team means today's joys could yield to yet another pie in the face tomorrow.

In the mid-1960s, when Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. came to Chicago at the request of the Catholic Interracial Council to discuss social justice issues, Monroe "Moe" B. Sullivan was there. An official with the council, Mr. Sullivan accompanied the civil rights leader on the car ride from the airport into the city that day. "He felt privileged to have had that short period of time with Dr. King," said Mr. Sullivan's wife of 49 years, Fran. "It only reinforced the strong values and beliefs they both shared."

"Everything about it was boring. The food was bland--not interesting or tasty at all. The service was so-so. The table was OK, but only because it was BYOB. Otherwise, the dishes were overpriced. The atmosphere made me think I was in the suburbs: huge and overdone."--EV "Got reservations on a Saturday night without any problem. The empanadas were good. The duck was pretty good, and the lomo saltados was great. A great BYO bargain. Looks like a fun place for a group since they will make you mojitos."

Motorola Inc. should be found liable in a $10 billion trade-secrets suit because it ignored a court order requiring witnesses to be sequestered during a trial that ended in a hung jury, lawyers for SPS Technologies Corp. said. In its suit, SPS claimed that Schaumburg-based Motorola stole its idea for a vehicle-tracking system. Circuit Court Judge Leroy Moe declared a mistrial Nov. 27 when the jury deadlocked on a verdict in the fourth day of deliberations. Moe had ordered witnesses at the eight-week trial sequestered so they wouldn't be influenced by the statements of others.

The unofficial ringmaster of the impromptu shows at Santa Monica's Muscle Beach from the 1930s through the 1950s was Deforrest "Moe" Most, a gymnast who had a knack for convincing teens and tourists that they, too, could join in.

"I can't tell you how many times he did things for people . . . and how many people stood on his shoulders." Mr. Most, who later worked as a propmaker for the studios, died Sept.
